===Cobdenism===
Proponents of [[Cobdenism]] claim that by removing tariffs and creating international [[free trade]], wars would become impossible because free trade prevents a nation from becoming [[self-sufficient]], which is a requirement for long wars.{{Citation needed|date=August 2023}}

However, free trade does not prevent a nation from establishing some sort of emergency plan to become temporarily self-sufficient in case of war or that a nation could simply acquire what it needs from a different nation. A good example of this is [[World War I]], during which both Britain and Germany became partially self-sufficient. This is particularly important because Germany had no plan for creating a [[war economy]].{{Citation needed|date=August 2023}}
